Gunners ease Emirates misery

In what I admit to being a pretty dull match at the Emirates last night Arsenal did win and in doing so eased of some of the pressure they have been coming under in recent days. Fabregas looked like he'd found his form again after being given the captian armband, although neither Vela or Ramsey really shined although it must be said Vela was hardly given the ball and Ramsey was playing out of position in a midfield made out of 4 central midfielders!!! We need our players back.

Anyway now that we've qualified nicely for the last 16, Arsenal can concentrate on returning back to normality back in the premiership title

Fabregas' era has begun

I am so glad that Wenger has finally decided to strip Gallas of captaincy, in my opinion he has never had what it takes to lead a team and Wenger only gave it to him becuase at the time there were no natural leaders of the team and Gallas stood out because he was the oldest player on the team. Wenger also gave it to him because Gallas is such a big headed banana that he would have cried unless he had captaincy. Although the press only turned on Gallas after the Birmingham match he never deserved the honour of being captian, espically after just coming from Chelsea.

Now onto Fabregas. Cesc has been playing for the Arsenal first team since he was sixteen years old, so although he is only 21 now, he has already been playing first team football for 5 years which is incredible. The fact that Fabregas is also the heartbeat of the team it makes perfect sense to give him the armband. Fabregas also gives his team mates somebody to look up to when things are not going so well.
